Social media plays an important role in helping us promote the market and support the brilliant businesses that trade with us.
This page is here to give you a clear idea of how we use social media at Truro Farmers Market, and how you can get involved — whether that’s being featured, sharing your own content, or taking part in an Instagram takeover.
Our aim is simple:
- Promote the market consistently each week
- Showcase the people behind the stalls
- Celebrate seasonal, local produce
- Share the atmosphere and community of the market
We want our social media to feel authentic, welcoming, and representative of the real market.
What We Do Each Week
Our social media is managed by the market team, with content created by Rebecca (Imagine Inc) alongside occasional photography and content from the market.
Each week, we aim to share:
- 🎥 1 general market reel
A snapshot of the market — the atmosphere, stalls, and what’s happening that week - 📸 1 featured trader or feature post
Highlighting a trader, product, or seasonal theme - 📱 Instagram stories on market days
Showing live moments from Wednesdays and Saturdays
The Kind of Content We Love
If you’re creating your own content or taking part in a takeover, this is what works really well:
- Behind-the-scenes (making, baking, growing, prepping)
- Stall photos and product displays
- Seasonal produce
- Market day moments and customers
- Your story — who you are and what you do
Simple, natural content is always best — it doesn’t need to be perfect.
